John Rhosos

John Rhosos or Rhosus (active 1447–1497, d. Feb. 1498)[1][2] was a Greek Cretan scribe and calligrapher who lived and worked in 15th century Renaissance Italy. He copied and translated works of Classical literature in Venice, Florence, Rome and other cities of Italy.[3] He worked for Bessarion and is considered by some to be one of the most important Greek copyists of the Renaissance.[4]

gollark: ... an x86 assembly typing test link?
gollark: > sqlite is not less complex than this formatYes. *But*, you don't actually have to interact with the SQLite disk format directly because libsqlite3 exists.
gollark: I suspect SQLite would lose out somewhat in storage efficiency, but it could plausibly be faster for many things at runtime.
